[Light]

"It was inevitable." He simply replies, leading her away from the main entrance, to the side. "I'll deal with it later. Don't bother yourself with it."

[CrimsonMoon]

She hugs the bundle and murmurs,"... I'm sorry master.." Her blue hair coming loose and a small curl hugging her jawline

(I feel like this song would fit this thread x3

[Light]

He seems to flinch and he quickly slides open a door, "Stay in here," he looks to the side, his eyes narrowing at the trees and gates, "I'll be back."

(Lol wuuuut? XD cool song)

[CrimsonMoon]

XD eventually... Itll fit xDDDDDD)

She nods quickly and stares at her feet... That was a stupid move..

[Light]

(If you saaaaay sooooo~! It's gotta be if Crimmen says XD)

He closes the door, his heavy footed steps taking him further down the hall, back towards the center of the building. He grumbles in their tongue, a mixture of his usual loudness and a new protectiveness that had begun to seep in once they had reached the capital. A figure sits in front of the east sliding door to the ill lit room and softly taps their knuckles against the wooden part of the frame.

[CrimsonMoon]

Xena paces restlessly, her eyes wandering and her body twitchig uneasily, there were so many paper doors... Someone could just rip through an attack..

[Light]

The person at the doors sighs and knocks harder this time, "Kibo-sama, I understand that you arrived here a few hours ago," the door slides open, and a plain looking girl with light peach red hair slips into the room.

[CrimsonMoon]

Hearing the voice, she shuffles... What if that was an assassin come to kill her King..? But what if this guy wasnt a king at all...

[Light]

The voice opens the sliding door all the way, her blue eyes scanning the room... "Ah... you aren't... Kibo..." she starts backing away slowly, her eyes widening.

[CrimsonMoon]

She just shrugs faintly, better not break the boy facade. The girl didnt seem armed but...

[Light]

She shuffles to the other side and begins pouring water into a bowl, "You must be... the foreigner then." she sighs a bit and places leaves into the bowl, "Drink this. Kibo told me to bring some to this room..."

[CrimsonMoon]

She warily eyes the bowl, hugging her bundle tighter but nods faintly to her... Might as well thank her

[Light]

She fixes the kimono and stands up, her feet shuffling across the floor as she heads towards the door, "Don't hesitate to ring a bell or knock on the wall, one of us will hear you."

[CrimsonMoon]

"... Thank you," she murmurs and finally sits down with crossed legs, the bundle on her lap

[Light]

She looks back one more time before shutting the door again, whispers following as the girl goes back out into the hallway. Her and the others that had waited outside leave, and the loud footsteps of Kibō come from further down the hall.

[CrimsonMoon]

Xena watches the girl's sillhouette disappear before closing her eyes and hugging the bundle, frowning

[Light]

'So?' Kibō whispers.

'I don't trust them. I won't until I have reason to.' The girl bluntly replies before leaving the young lord, his frustration easy to hear as he sighs. He tosses the door open and walks in, dumping his swords on the floor before sitting down to take off his boots.

[CrimsonMoon]

She doesnt flinch the slightest when he comes but merely closes her eyes... 'They'...?

[Light]

He sets his shoes down and crawls over to the other side of the room. "First a female foreigner... Now some eccentric old man foreigner..."
